Vol 5 Chapter 368: The reason is found!

The match between Manchester City and Aston Villa is still in progress. The score on the field is still 0: 2. Aston Villa, who is at Manchester Stadium, leads by 2 goals.
Many people are talking about Aston Villa's lead.
This is rare.
Over the past two seasons, Manchester City have been too strong in the league. They have won the league title twice. The league continues to be undefeated for 42 rounds. Manchester City ’s strength can even be described as 'domination'. They have dominated for more than two years.
Wansheng coached Manchester City for 80 rounds of the league and only lost 4 games.
An average of 20 games lost, the odds are very small, just look at the data to see how 'rare' Manchester City lose, let alone, Manchester City have not lost the ball until last season, so when you see the first half Aston Villa scored 2 goals on the field, as can be seen in the hot discussion between the media and the fans.
At this point, Wan Sheng stood on the sidelines, motionless.
He frowned and looked at the contest on the field, calmly analyzing what to do.
The two-ball backwards situation was unexpected, which was even enough to make an experienced veteran coach panic, but Wan Sheng was very calm. He knew that as the team's head coach, he must remain calm.
Offense is necessary, but the first half is not a good time, because time does not allow him to adjust the tactics slightly
Only after the halftime break can we make changes to the lineup and play style.
Time passed quickly, and 40 minutes passed in the first half of the blink of an eye.
The live commentator Berbat couldn't help saying, "There is not much time in the first half. It seems that the two goals will enter the halftime break with 0: 2. Manchester City have won 3 before and 1 level. They are in excellent condition, but the international game day affected the ball Team. Wan Sheng had to change a lot ... "He explained to the fans why Manchester City was behind.
Of course, it is indispensable, "The opponent's performance is too good. Two chances and two goals, this is the football game. Full of uncertainty."
With Berbat's words, the big screen also pointed to Manchester City's coach seat. I saw Wan Sheng still standing on the sidelines, his eyes carefully looked at the game, his brows were slightly frowned, as if he was troubled by the situation on the court.
"Now Manchester City are playing a little passively. They have strengthened their defense. Perhaps Wansheng hopes that the team will not make mistakes."
"We should look forward to the second half."
At this time, Wan Sheng was watching the game. But in fact, thinking has long been out of the field, he has always recalled the team's tactics and play style when he led Derby County a few years ago.
The official coach who led Derby County to play in the Premier League season, Derby County's offensive football tactics have just taken shape, so not every game uses control and fast break play, especially in the FA Cup, and the Premier League When the team played, the team was not strong. There is a clear gap with the Premier League team, but they still won one game after another and defeated Manchester United in the FA Cup final. Won the championship.
In the following Premier League season, Derbyshire began to focus on "killing" tactics, but when facing Manchester United and Chelsea, it still changed its tactics, mainly because when the players were not strong, "killing" tactical confrontation The effect of strong teams is not good, but a solid defensive counterattack is more suitable for playing against strong teams.
It's different when you come to Manchester City.
Since last season, the team's strength has been no weaker than any opponent. A ‘os-’ tactical system alone is enough to sweep the Premier League.
So the team has been playing like this. Also achieved the expected results.
But now I have a problem.
The team's performance is actually good, tactics played out. It's just that some new players are not very comfortable with tactics, so the power of tactics is not ideal, coupled with the excellent performance of the opponent, it creates the current situation.
So with the current lineup, should we change the way of playing?
Wan Sheng suddenly thought of the game against Ipswich at Portman Road Stadium a few years ago, when Derby County faced Ipswich's solid defense, there was no good way, so the team began to seek Use long shots to score.
In that game, the team ’s offensive strategy was very simple, that is, relying on long shots to constantly ‘bombard’ against the opponent ’s goal.
In the end the team won the game.
At that time, there were not many players with long-range ability in Derby County, but now their own Manchester City is much stronger than that Derby County. Many of the 11 players have good long-range capabilities, such as Murray Players like Roberto, Roberto Carlos and Lescott are very good in this respect.
Of course, copying that simple and rough game is definitely not worth the loss.
But before and after comparison, Wan Sheng found some problems, and he suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment.
The lag in the first half cannot completely blame the team's performance, because the team's performance is as expected, or the opponent's performance is too good.
So after halftime, after entering the locker room, Wan Sheng did not blame the players.
The players don't know this. They only know that they are two goals behind in the first half. Naturally, the team's performance is not good.
The atmosphere in the locker room is very depressing.
At this time, Wansheng spoke, "I remember, I told you, to treat the team as a giant, you must have a strong team's heart!" Hearing the head coach, everyone looked over.
"Are you?" Wan Sheng continued to ask.
Morris, Darren Bent and others all nodded. It was the first two seasons. They also suffered a goal drop in advance, but eventually caught up with the points.
"Whether treating the team as a giant or having a strong team's heart is to maintain a stable mentality." Wan Sheng said, "I can tell you clearly that your performance in the first half was not bad, just Because the other party's performance is so good ... "
"This is not an evasive word at the press conference, but a fact."
"You think about it, in the first 20 minutes, how many chances did we have and how many times did the opponent have? But they scored two goals, but we didn't score one goal. The opponent's efficiency is very high, maybe their luck is good, So they have two goals. This is the case with football games, and the key to winning or losing depends on grasping the opportunity. "
"No matter what the score is, we lead, or the other party leads, I hope you can maintain a stable attitude."
"Do you understand what I mean?"
Wan Sheng asked emphatically.
Everyone immediately echoed ‘know’.
Wan Sheng did not use any means to inspire the team's fighting spirit, but he knew that this was enough. Compared with last season, the team has matured a lot. Young players like Ozil, Lescott, etc. are no longer They are rookies in the Premier League, and they are much more mature.
Because of maturity, his mentality is stable.
They don't need to motivate themselves, they all know what to do when they get to the game.
Manchester City is already a mature team!
Next, Wan Sheng talked about the play in the second half.
The way Wansheng arranged the game was very simple, that was to find opportunities in the frontcourt and shoot. There was not much change to the overall tactics, but the method of shooting was changed.
He emphasized, "We don't need to pass the ball into the opponent's goal."
This is a joke in nature, but it is the mentality of many players in the team.
The team's tactics have had a great impact on them. Many times they pass the ball into the opponent's goal. The opportunity they get in front of the goal is quite ordinary. Facing the goalkeeper is quite ordinary. They often encounter the opportunity to directly push the empty goal.
This shows the skill of tactical cooperation and proves the success of tactics.
But to complete such a goal, it often requires a lot of players to cooperate without interruption. There can be no mistakes in the middle, so it is easy to miss the opportunity.
This is the problem that Wan Sheng discovered in the first half.
Skillful tactical cooperation is good, but paying too much attention to this point will cost a lot.
For example, when a player gets a good chance in the frontcourt, he sees someone defending himself. Perhaps the first option is to pass the ball to his teammates, instead of shooting where there is not much confidence, but what happens after the pass? Teammates may not be able to get a good chance, the offensive will have to start again.
Once, twice, many times, not only wasted opportunities, but also wasted time.
When the team is leading, it is naturally nothing, so that it can strengthen the control of football, slowly consume time, and do not give the opponent the opportunity, but when it is behind, it is not worth the effort to play.
In short, the team should not pay too much attention to cooperation during the game, but also pay attention to ‘efficiency’.
It was like Aston Villa ’s two goals in the first half. In fact, there was not much cooperation at all. The players gave the ball to their teammates. The teammates took pressure to shoot and the goal was scored.
This is true for both goals.
No one dares to say that the high-altitude hanging pass can be scored by grabbing the position, but Manchester City has too few such goals.
This has become a problem.
In many corner kick opportunities, the team also subconsciously does tactical foot kicks. A corner kick is like a sideline kick, there is no direct point grab, no direct header, some are just constant passes, pass .
Waste opportunities, waste time!
Without this 0: 2 backwardness, Wan Sheng could not find this problem.
Now he found it.
So Wan Sheng felt that even if he lost the game, it was worth it ~ EbookFREE.me ~ With this lesson, the team's future games will definitely become more targeted and more efficient.
After listening to Wan Sheng's explanation, many players felt a sudden enlightenment.
Especially a few new players, such as Robert Carlos. After joining Manchester City, he was amazed by the team's cooperation, but at the same time felt awkward in the game.
He always thought it was the reason he was not familiar with tactics.
Now he understands.
There is a problem with the team's overall thinking.
When he assists in the frontcourt, he often thinks of giving the ball to the most suitable teammate in the first place, instead of looking for an opportunity to shoot. Other people will think the same, and the team's cooperation comes out. But the ball couldn't be scored.
The game was wonderful, but there was no goal.
why?
The reason is found! (To be continued.)
